About brutalist-industrial

brutalist-industrial is a visual design skill for creating web pages with a declassified-machine-blueprint aesthetic. It defines a strict system of signal colors, visible grids, heavy typography, and restrained motion.

Key features

  1. 01Fixed palette and heavy type rules
  2. 02Grid built from lines and dividers
  3. 03Square borders and hard-shadow buttons
  4. 04Mechanical, short-duration motion rules
  5. 05Constraints for content and iconography

Use cases

  1. 01Design an industrial-style product landing page
  2. 02Present features and pricing in indexed tables
  3. 03Unify page buttons, typography, and colors
  4. 04Check a page against the visual system

One identity: a declassified blueprint for a machine you haven't been cleared to see.

1. PALETTE (Fixed)

  • Ground: #F2F1EC (aged paper). Dark ground variant: #1B1B18.
  • Ink: #141414 (near-black, neutral).
  • Signal color — exactly one: safety orange #E8540B, industrial yellow #E3B23C, or technical blue #2B5FA8. Pick by brief; then it never changes.
  • Secondary ink for metadata: #6E6C64.
  • Rules/borders: #141414 full opacity — visible, 1px, everywhere.
  • No gradients, no shadows, no glows. Depth comes from offset solid blocks and rules.

2. TYPOGRAPHY (Fixed)

  • Display: heavy grotesk (Archivo, Archivo Black, or Arial Black fallback), weight 700–900, uppercase, tight tracking (−0.01em), huge scale clamp(2.6rem, 7vw, 6rem).
  • Body: same family at 400, 15–17px, 1.5–1.6.
  • Labels/metadata: monospaced (IBM Plex Mono, ui-monospace), uppercase, letter-spacing: 0.08–0.12em, 10–12px. Section coordinates ("01 / 04"), spec numbers ("GS-114"), and status tags all use mono.
  • NEVER italic, never serif, never lowercase-as-brand (except deliberate design-read exception).

3. COMPOSITION (Fixed)

  • Visible grid discipline: hairline rules (1px solid ink) everywhere — section separators, column dividers, table rows. The grid IS the design.
  • Header block: left-aligned wordmark + mono coordinates right ("N-01 / REV 3"); top and bottom 1px rules closing the masthead.
  • Hero: giant condensed uppercase headline spanning full width, kicker line in mono with a signal-color marker (▪ or ▸), body right-blocked in a 5/12 column, exit line at the bottom: mono small print + signal CTA box.
  • Data as structure: features/pricing rendered as indexed tables or ledger rows with rules — never rounded cards. If cards: square, 1px ink border, no shadow. Selected/featured row gets a signal-color fill (#E8540B with ink text).
  • Buttons: rectangles, 1–2px ink borders, hard offset shadow 4px 4px 0 ink (or signal), press = offset removed.

4. CONTENT TREATMENT

  • No emoji. No icons beyond typographic markers (▪, ▸, ■, →) and drawn square/cross glyphs.
  • Numbers are the decoration: every section gets a mono index number; metrics typeset in mono columns like an instrument panel.
  • Photography: none by default. Full-bleed halftone/greyscale image with a 1px ink frame only if the read demands it.
  • CTAs: one solid CTA (signal fill or ink), plus a plain mono text link. Never two equal buttons.

5. MOTION (Mechanical, Not Pretty)

  • Instant or 80–150ms snaps — machine response, not choreography.
  • Hover: invert (ink→ground), 1px border flip to signal. No float, no wobble, no parallax.
  • One allowed entrance: sections reveal via clip/translate up 8px, 150ms.

6. CHECKLIST (Fail the page if…)

  • Any border-radius above 2px on a major surface.
  • Any gradient, glow, drop-shadow, or blur.
  • More than one signal color in use.
  • Any emoji or whimsical iconography.
  • Display type not uppercase or not heavy.
  • Any italic or serif in a label position.
  • The grid is invisible (no rules, no alignment evidence).
  • A standard rounded-card row of three appears.
